War Reports

B"H

I have been more concentrating on reports regarding the present situation in Israel and less on religious matters. It goes without saying that you will hardly find any Israeli rabbi not wishing the Arabs to Gehinnom. We are just fed up with being attacked and accused all the time. 

The Hamas hasn't only been shooting rockets onto Israeli territory for the past few weeks but for the past 12 years. The international media is only raising its voice as soon as Israel dares to strike back. Then the media sees their favourite Palestinians in danger. As long as Israelis are getting injured or die, no one cares. 

You may say that the times of Meshiach have arrived and that there will be wars. Nevertheless, as soon as you are personally involved, you won't think that it is funny or just the way it is. 

So far, Jerusalem has been attacked once. Last Friday, a few minutes after we lit the Shabbat candles, the sirens started and two rockets from Gaza were on their way. In the end, they went down in Gush Etzion (near Hebron and Kiryat Arba). We were lucky but only because the Arabs have their Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount. I just wish that a rocket would hit that building but, in this case, the Arab world would accuse the Jews of sabotage.:-)
